What an adventure this has turned out to be. Today I am writing from Leavenworth, WA. We drove out on Tuesday, January 4th, 2022. At the time they were forecasting some snow but not enough to close any of the passes down so we would have been back by the 6th. So much snow has… Continue reading Stuck in Leavenworth, WA

Keto Update: Failing & Gaining
Failure is such a strong word. I fell completely off!!! It has been so hard getting back on track. I gave myself the excuse that my cardiologist wanted me to stop Keto. I shouldn't have gotten so way off track. I also told myself that this Summer, I could count on putting in hours with… Continue reading Keto Update: Failing & Gaining

Midnight Thoughts: Can you work too much?
Is there such a thing as working too much? During these times where some find themselves unemployed, I am asking myself if I am working too much. Isn't that crazy? I feel blessed that I can still work. I feel a bit guilty too. I know I am doing what I can to contribute and… Continue reading Midnight Thoughts: Can you work too much?
Social Distancing Made Me Do It.
When you're in self isolation, you're forced to sit at home and with all of this time on our hands, we tend to find new hobbies. Well, mine was in the form of Tik Tok. As I hold my head low in embarrassment. I mean c'mon isn't that app geared to teens more than adults??… Continue reading Social Distancing Made Me Do It.

Midnight Thoughts: Starting Keto, Cold Turkey!
I started Keto...or shall I say I re-started Keto, lazy keto. Keto, a low carb, low sugar, high fat and high protein "diet." I initially started keto back in February 2018 with the intentions of losing 20lbs and I had almost accomplished it! But then I gave it up through that Summer because I wanted… Continue reading Midnight Thoughts: Starting Keto, Cold Turkey!
